The Gibson Custom Shop "Inspired By" Joe Bonamassa 1957 Les Paul Standard Goldtop (originally released in 2013) is a highly collectible signature model meticulously crafted to match the distinct blend of features on Joe's favorite vintage guitars.

Body & Finish

Top Material: Carved Maple

Body Material: Solid Mahogany

Body Binding: Single-ply cream binding on the top

Finish: Goldtop front with an authentic Black Back / Darkback finish (replicated from a vintage forebear that had its back painted black to mask historical repairs).

Neck & Fingerboard

Neck Material: 1-Piece Mahogany

Neck Profile: Traditional 1959 rounded neck profile (substantial, palm-filling "C" shape measuring approx. 0.91" depth at the 1st fret and 0.99"–1.01" at the 12th fret).

Fingerboard: Rosewood with a 12" radius

Frets: 22 Medium-Jumbo frets

Nut Width: 1-11/16" (approx. 43.1mm) with a nylon nut

Scale Length: 24.75 inches

Hardware & Electronics

Pickups:

Gibson Burstbucker 2 in the neck and Burstbucker 3 in the bridge (Alnico II magnets with Historically unmatched bobbin windings; reading approx. 7.9k–8.1k ohms neck / 8.3k–8.5k ohms bridge).

Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, CTS Potentiometers, Bumblebee Capacitors, 3-way toggle switch.

Knobs: Distinctive mismatched control knobs. Amber Top Hat knobs control the neck pickup while Gold Reflector Top Hat knobs control the bridge pickup.

This design allows Joe to feel which control he is adjusting by touch alone while singing.

Plastics: Black plastic appointments (including black pickup rings, pickguard, and switchwasher) mimicking select 1957 transitions.

Bridge & Tailpiece: Non-wire ABR-1 bridge paired with a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece.

Tuning Machines: Grover Kidney Rotomatic tuners.

There are several interesting features in this guitar. The neck's profile is asymmetrical, narrower up and wider down, which is very comfortable.

Aesthetic Details

Headstock: Slightly narrower early-1950s style headstock outline with a lower-positioned inlaid Gibson logo.

Truss Rod Cover: Inscribed with the "Bonamassa" signature name.

It's a very good opportunity to pick up one the Gibson's more desirable artist limited-run at a Les Paul Custom pricing
